The affected person might believe their lies to be truth, and may have to create elaborate myths to reconcile them with other facts. Among famous mythomaniacs in history was King Frederik VII of Denmark and Sir Douglas Conway of Suffolk.<BR/><BR/>A pathological liar is someone who often embellishes his or her stories in a way that he or she believes will impress people. It may be that a pathological liar is different from a normal liar in that a pathological liar believes the lie he or she is telling to be true—at least in public—and is "playing" the role. He or she sometimes is seen to have a serious mental problem that needs to be rectified.<BR/><BR/>It is not clear, however, that this is the case. It could also be that pathological liars know precisely what they are doing. Confused hashes of history and wishes are called confabulation. "Pathological liar" is a synonym for symptoms.<BR/><BR/>Even though pathological lying is not recognized as a clinical disorder, legal court cases often require that the plaintiff prove that the defendant is aware that he or she is lying. This proof is most important in cases of slander and/or liability.<BR/><BR/>Pathological liars often actually convince themselves that they are telling the truth, which in turn can alter polygraph tests and other questioning. Some have observed that when caught in a lie, pathological liars tend to become hostile or try to disregard the fact they lied; often playing it off as a joke.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245370287036883391.post-39777335499176710552007-08-02T16:35:00.000+02:002007-08-02T16:35:00.000+02:00New try...www.cryo-laboratory.com/forums/hot-deals...New try...<BR/><BR/>www.cryo-laboratory.com/forums<BR/>/hot-deals<BR/>/76618-madison-celebrity-150-laptop<BR/>-fedora-linux.html<BR/><BR/>Put those 4 lines togetherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245370287036883391.post-64960079008359124262007-08-02T16:26:00.000+02:002007-08-02T16:26:00.000+02:00"http://www.tbg.nu/news_show/111484/322"Swedish :(..."http://www.tbg.nu/news_show/111484/322"<BR/><BR/>Swedish :( It's 2000-damn-7, and I want my flying cars and C3PO protocol droids who knows Swedish, god damn it!!!<BR/><BR/>Truthseeker, puhleeeease cover the details, pretty pretty please :D :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245370287036883391.post-25213390090633094162007-08-02T16:15:00.000+02:002007-08-02T16:15:00.000+02:00Doesn't this look similar? :Dhttp://www.cryo-labo...Doesn't this look similar? :D<BR/><BR/>http://www.cryo-laboratory.com/forums/hot-deals/76618-madison-celebrity-150-laptop-fedora-linux.html<BR/><BR/>Medison...Madison...who gives a shit? ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245370287036883391.post-46604787246842864562007-08-02T16:14:00.000+02:002007-08-02T16:14:00.000+02:00"I'd really like to read this, do you have links, ..."I'd really like to read this, do you have links, or are your sources elsewhere?

And that's, frankly, quite impossible. <BR/><BR/>But besides that, I'm beginning to think that this whole thing is really quite brilliant. Let's say Medison has no margins at all for their computers. Manufacturing, shipping (from Asia), is precisely covered by the retail price. Then Medison could sell Windows, more RAM, bigger HD, support deals, extras etc. Their giving away the notebook and make their money on extras - just like XBOX did. <BR/><BR/>It's a brilliant idea, but the question is whether Valdi is capable of pulling it through. Even if it's a scam or if they fail, there will most certainly be another company doing the same thing soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245370287036883391.post-86198330312314877732007-08-02T13:44:00.000+02:002007-08-02T13:44:00.000+02:00"Valdi had to go to Copenhagen and have an importa..."Valdi had to go to Copenhagen and have an important meeting with UNICEF"<BR/><BR/>Can we please get the name of the UNICEF person so we can call and check?<BR/><BR/>Or is that name a secret, too, in case the office mates should get jealous like the other customers of the secret laptop factory?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
